British tennis star Emma Raducanu broke down in tears during her 6-3 6-4 win over Jaqueline Cristian at the Korea Open on Wednesday.
The exact reason for Raducanu’s emotional outburst during the first-round victory is currently unknown – but it came during a moment in a match when the British No.1 had been struggling to hit her best levels.
Raducanu, who famously won the 2021 US Open, was in tears after she had netted a forehand and faced two break points at 3-3 in the first set.
The 22-year-old – ranked world No.33 – had her match against Romanian opponent Cristian, ranked world No.41, delayed because of rain.
Speaking after her victory, Raducanu, who withdrew from Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup Final team to play in Seoul, said: ‘It hasn’t been easy.
‘I feel like I’ve played this match the last three days. To have pulled through after waiting, I’m super pleased at how I came through.
‘Jaqueline is a really tough opponent and has had great results recently. [They were] tough conditions, very slow, long rallies and long points, so happy to have got through.’
